Dear Hamster,
On behalf of
the 2007 North Harbour Management team I would like to thank you
for your early show of support.
I am always
open to discussion on most things rugby. As a result I am very interested
in discussing how you can assist the team this year. Obviously defending
the Ranfurly Shield will be high on the priority list along with
being successful in the Air NZ Cup. Lets not forget promoting more
Harbour players into the Super 14 comp for 2008.
I will be at
Onewa Domain (a ground some refer to as 'the mecca') this Saturday
at 2.45pm. Having browsed your website it is obvious that you would
know this most famous of venues.
I suggest you
meet myself and the other selectors after the match in the upstairs
lounge of the Takapuna clubrooms where we can discuss the match
and the form of some of the players. Then it will be off to the
Stadium for the Blues Sharks.
I look forward
to meeting Saturday.
Until then,
happy hunting.
Wayne Pivac
Air New Zealand Cup Head Coach

Dear Mr. Pivac
On behalf of
the devoted readers of Harbour Rugby's most famous and informative
website, the Harbour Hamster (your grassroots expert) welcomes you
to the position of Harbour Head Coach. While this vocation has at
times proven to be a poisoned chalice, we believe you may have what
it takes to make a real positive difference.
We also said
that about Anscombe ... just kidding. (Nobody connected to Bays
should have a driver's license let alone permission to coach rugby)
As you casually
review our column inches, it will be apparent that we haven't always
been that complimentary to past management and coaching staff of
our great Union. Pollock in particular got a regular roasting but
we like to think that occasionally we are fair and constructive
with our blistering personal attacks on professional sporting performance
or lack thereof.
In summary,
if you ever need my assistance in team selection or general gossip,
please don't hesitate to email the webmaster who will forward it
to my sordid North Harbour burrow. I will give you a couple of games
to get it right then will be in "boots and all".
All the best
with the job ... I'm off to do a nut stock-take or whatever hamsters
do in the off-season.
Cheers
Harbour Hamster
